Nobody in my family even knows who Ron Paul is. Nobody I have discussed the election with has even a basic concept of who Paul is, let alone what he stands for.
Ron Paul gets a lot of play on the internet but the bias his supporters perceive against him in the media is actually indifference born from the fact that he isn't relevant in the real world.
This isn't a troll post aimed at the over-zealous Ron Paul fans, I'm seriously telling you - outside of the internet he barely exists.

Sadly, you are both right and wrong. He is an internet fad, but he isn't irrelevant. Ron Paul will have the 2nd most delegates at the Republican convention.
Your relatives don't know who he is because the main stream media doesn't tell them. The mainstream media doesn't tell them because they want to squash his message. The internet is the only place that he can't be stifled.
Ron Paul may not become President but he will decide who the next President will be. If he doesn't endorse the Republican nominee, then Obama will win. If he does endorse the Republican nominee, then that guy will win.

I doubt he'd endorse any of the other 3. I think he sees them in the same boat as Obama, and he's right.

I'm guessing you're too far away from the now voting 'internet generation' that make an internet fad kind of a big deal.
You're saying it's an internet fad as if only some small strange demographic uses the internet. There is an internet outside of the outpost.
Plenty of people I know would recognize Ron Paul before Santorum or Gingrich or even Romney in some cases. He's a nut but he's got his people.

It's a shame many people see him coming in fourth as a good thing. He's hands down more sane than any of the other three just based on one issue alone, war with Iran. His stances on other issues are better than any of the others as well. It's a shame Paul won't be elected and it is because he comes off awkward and old. Presentation matters the most in today's voting process for most Americans.

I'm not rEVOLution guy by a long shot. But. Considering Paul has been:

in most debates last time around,
on The View for God's sake,
on CNN and FOX about a dozen times apiece that I've personally seen
ridden hard by CNN over a couple stories (particularly the 'omg newsletter')

Ron Paul is an intelligent guy that is correct on many issues. He is also a shitty campaigner.
He came in dead last in S.C. a hard core military minded state, and that flies in the face of Paul's jingo about being vastly supported by the military.
He needs to stop trying to spread his word and focus more on what to keep his mouth shut about.

Ofcourse, it must be the racists that caused Paul to fail so hard! Blame whatever scapegoat makes you feel better. Your boy is an awful campaigner.
He will come in 2nd at the convention only because there will only be two remaining candidates at that point.

Why are you discussing this?
Did you study Rin Paul's campaign objectives? Do you know the history or south Carolina and Florida primaries?
Ron Paul knew he could carry these states and he put very little effort into them.
Your talking point don't make any sense what do ever...
If Ron Paul could carry the racist religious vote (as some of you his followers are) he would have concentrated more where those themes resonate.
Christ Ron Paul haters are literally insane...

So your best argument is that not only would Ron Paul not be a good representative for the country, but that he can't even do it for his party. Grats on that.
Pretty funny that him and his followers have to sink to grasping at the race card trying to save his credibility on him floundering so hard.

Most people don't follow politics at all - so saying he has been in a little watched debate is not proof that most people know who he is. I would guess the vast majority of Americans have never even heard of him.

The Corporate owned Mainstream Media decides who the top tier of candidates are, and they systematically ignore the fact that Paul even exists, even though he had been consistently in the top three in every poll before the primaries even started.
Its all a hit job, and its sad that Yoss falls for it. Also, I agree with the above posters, your family must consist of nothing but ignorant morons. Sad that you aren't the one to educate them. 
John Stewart had this brilliant piece on the MSM ignoring Paul even though he was doing better than the waste of time candidates they DID cover.
